The room was great - spotless, with a very comfortable bed, great water pressure in the shower and nice towels. The shuttle was very convenient - when you arrive at the airport, you need to ask the people at the desk as you get close to the exit to let the hotel know to come get you. Only downer was that the food was OK. Not bad, but not great either. Overall, a great place to stay in Addis.

My experience at the Ethiopian Skylight Hotel was genuinely outstanding. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome with warm, attentive service that never felt forced. The lobby itself sets the tone—spacious, elegant, and full of natural light. The rooms were spotless, modern, and comfortable, with thoughtful touches that made the stay feel elevated. I especially appreciated the quiet atmosphere and the quality of the bedding; it made it easy to rest after long days. Breakfast was a highlight. The buffet had an impressive range of local and international options, all fresh and beautifully presented. The dining staff managed to be both efficient and friendly, which made mornings feel relaxed rather than rushed. The amenities—including the fitness center, pool, and multiple dining options—were all top-notch. The hotel’s proximity to the airport was also incredibly convenient without sacrificing comfort or atmosphere. Overall, the Ethiopian Skylight Hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. I’d happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Addis Ababa, whether for business or leisure.
